An objective of the CLIA is to ensure the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of test results regardless of where the test was performed. Most Laboratory Developed Tests have been regulated under this program. [3] In 2014 the FDA started a public discussion about regulating some LDTs. [4]
Laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) are a class of in vitro diagnostics (IVDs) designed, manufactured, and used within a single laboratory. They are employed for various medical diagnoses and research applications, offering advantages in flexibility and fostering innovation in the diagnostics field.
The FDA requires nonclinical laboratory studies on new drugs, food additives, and chemicals to assess their safety and potential effectiveness in humans in compliance with 21 CFR Part 58, Good Laboratory Practice for Nonclinical Studies under the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and Public Health Service Act.

The FDA’s authorization for the Simple 2 Test was based on data indicating that consumers could successfully use the home tests, understand the results and then take any necessary subsequent action.
Under the CLIA, it is the role of the FDA to assess the complexity of the in vitro laboratory diagnostic tests. [33] Tests are only scored after the FDA has cleared or approved a premarketing request, or upon request. [36] Manufacturers can apply for CLIA waivers during this premarket approval/clearance process.
